This week, my daughter had an early morning dentist appointment and I was the lucky parent who got to take her there and then on to school. It’s probably a good thing that my husband didn’t have to take on the task, because he might have been driven over the edge this time.

This week, my daughter had an early morning dentist appointment and I was the lucky parent who got to take her there and then on to school. It’s probably a good thing that my husband didn’t have to take on the task, because he might have been driven over the edge this time.

The appointment was uneventful and she left with another perfect checkup. The drive to her school was fun as we had the chance to talk to each other without anyone else to interrupt. But oh, when I got to her school…..

When I dropped her off, the other kids in her class were all outside. It didn’t take long for a dark, handsome young man to spot her. As Beth walked up, he rode over on his bike and called, “Beth!!! Come ride with me.” Another girl offered to climb on the back with him only to be told that was Beth’s seat.

Stop! This is one place where I have to draw the line. This can’t be happening already!!! I can’t have any young men trying to steal my daughter’s heart. Not yet, anyway. I may have to let her go some day, but today she is still only 3.

It did my heart good to see her ignore him and go find her own bike to ride…
